Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1540 - 686: Too Much Given (Part 2)

Moreover, knowing Ding Hui’s personality, if she truly intends to study the antidote, she would not abandon it halfway. She will likely study it thoroughly in Da Liang City before leaving.

All kinds of thoughts left Fang Yu feeling somewhat worried.

But on the other side, Ding Hui had already made a decision.

"Young Master Nanyuan is indeed sincere. The conditions your Nanyuan Family offers are very tempting. However, my husband and I also have our conditions. If your Nanyuan Family can agree to them, from now on, we will be Guest Elders of the Nanyuan Family."

What?

I am suddenly becoming a Guest Elder of the Nanyuan Family?

Ding Hui decided this without even discussing it with me...

Fang Yu was grumbling in his heart, while Nanyuan En was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"That can be arranged! As long as Divine Doctor Ding can join our Nanyuan Family, any conditions can be arranged!"

"Young Master Nanyuan, don’t make promises too hastily, but actually, our conditions are quite simple."

Ding Hui blinked at Fang Yu, seemingly comforting his nerves, then continued slowly.

"Firstly, we aren’t permanently joining your Nanyuan Family, and you must understand this. Our contract with your Nanyuan Family is limited to the duration of producing the antidote for the Water Poison. Once I have developed the antidote, our cooperation with your Nanyuan Family will end."

"This..."

Nanyuan En immediately showed a bit of hesitation.

He paid such a high price to come to Foolish Underworld to poach talent, definitely not for such a short-term collaboration.

Though the initial intention was indeed to obtain the detoxification techniques of the Divine Doctor, if he could recruit Divine Doctor Ding, of course, he would think of a long-term collaboration to keep Divine Doctor Ding at the Nanyuan Family, working for them.

Such a Divine Doctor is something that cannot be easily let go.

However, just as Nanyuan En began to hesitate, Ding Hui’s voice turned cold.

"It seems this puts Young Master Nanyuan in a difficult position. This is only the first condition, and it’s already so challenging... Husband, what do you think?"

Throwing the topic suddenly at Fang Yu was unexpected for him.

All eyes in the surroundings turned to him.

Actually, everyone knew they were putting on a double act.

Even Fang Yu understood, he had to cooperate with Ding Hui in this act.

But this act could not be avoided.

With a slight cough, Fang Yu said.

"If the Nanyuan Family lacks sincerity, the conditions previously provided by the Lu Family and the Shu Family were not bad either. Should I go over to them for a discussion?"

"No need, no need!"

Nanyuan En hurriedly interrupted: "I, on behalf of the Nanyuan Family, accept Divine Doctor Ding’s conditions. Are there any other conditions? Please state them all."

Nanyuan En thought quite simply, setting the relationship through the first cooperation.

Once the initial contact is established, it becomes easier the second time. As long as enough resources are provided, securing the second cooperation is almost certain.

No matter what, the antidote is something the Nanyuan Family must secure. It pertains to whether they can replace the former Lin Family during these special times and become the new overlord of Da Liang City!

"The second condition is relatively simple. Withered Heart Cold, this medicinal material, I believe Young Master Nanyuan has heard of it?"

More than just hearing about it; isn’t it the unique herb that helped the Lin Family prosper? The Nanyuan Family has heaps of it in their warehouse.

With a grand gesture, Nanyuan En said spiritedly.

"Divine Doctor Ding wants some? Feel free to take it from the Nanyuan Family’s stockroom, take as much as you need!"

That wasn’t grandeur anymore; it was sheer boldness!

However, Ding Hui smilingly said: "I do need Withered Heart Cold, but more importantly, I desire the method to cultivate it. I know the Lin Family has been destroyed, but I wonder who currently possesses the cultivation method for Withered Heart Cold? I hope the Nanyuan Family can find a way to help gather it."

The cultivation method?

This appetite is rather...

Nanyuan En again displayed a difficult expression.

But this time, Ding Hui was understanding.

"This matter is not something I insist on, I only hope the Nanyuan Family can put in some effort in this area. I am not looking to monopolize it but hope the Nanyuan Family, upon obtaining any insights, could share them with me."

This is not excessively greedy.

After all, if the Nanyuan Family truly can’t obtain it, Ding Hui cannot compel them for more.

It was only said that if the Nanyuan Family had a chance to obtain it, let her enjoy the sight as well.

After some thought, Nanyuan En understood the distinctions and slowly nodded.

"That’s acceptable! I will comply with Divine Doctor Ding’s request!"

"In that case, from today onwards, we officially join the Nanyuan Family, husband, what do you think?"

Hearing Ding Hui’s question, Fang Yu couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

You’ve reached this point, why ask?

If I disagree, are you going to pretend all previous negotiations didn’t happen?

However, upon careful consideration, if he truly disagrees, Ding Hui might indeed turn hostile, nullifying all previously discussed conditions.

This matter, Ding Hui is capable of doing.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu slowly nodded.

The resources Nanyuan En provided were abundant, plentiful enough for a single resupply. As long as no major disasters occur, it should be more than enough to reach the Capital City. When they arrive there, those resources can also be used as bargaining chips to exchange for other valuable materials.

Overall, it’s a profitable deal, provided they don’t spend too much time in Da Liang City.

Fortunately, with Ding Hui’s previous progress on the research, even if Nanyuan En intervened, developing a detoxification method was only a matter of ten days to half a month.

"Good! Good! Good!!"

Seeing the matter settled, Nanyuan En was as excited as a child, his face full of joy.

This was the biggest affair he had personally facilitated for his family!

And this matter could very likely cement the Nanyuan Family’s dominance in Da Liang City. How could Nanyuan En not be excited?

After discussing some details, Nanyuan En cupped his hands.

"The items I brought will stay here for now. For the missing parts, I will return to the family to have them prepared immediately. May I know when Divine Doctor Ding would be convenient to visit our Nanyuan Family? I would like to make early arrangements!"

"Currently, I can’t leave. Once matters are settled here, someone will inform you."

"Great! Then I, I’ll first return to report the good news to my father!"

With the agreement reached, Nanyuan En couldn’t wait to go back and claim credit.

Fang Yu and his group naturally didn’t stop him.

The items Nanyuan En brought were arranged by Hong Yanxia and temporarily stored together.

These items belonged to Fang Yu and his group; Foolish Underworld had no right to touch them.

Some valuable or rare items even made Hong Yanxia envious.

Because Nanyuan En brought resources from various aspects, they naturally included precious resources needed by Martial Artists.

"The Nanyuan Family is truly extravagant."

Even Hong Yanxia had to admit this after seeing so many items.

Standing beside him, responsible for tallying the items, Fang Yu just nodded without saying much.

Because he couldn’t understand the value of some items.

He did take two Medicine Pills related to Martial Artists, hoping to gain skill points, but was disappointed to see the experience points increase by only a sliver.

"For Young Master Diao, these Medicine Pills are likely a bit weak in effect. However, Young Master Diao can keep these pills to reward future generations. For them, these Medicine Pills are invaluable for nourishment!"

Got it, it’s for Ding Hui, then.

From the sound of it, these Medicine Pills are still treasured goods and not mass-produced.

Otherwise, even two Medicine Pills yielding a single experience point would still seem acceptable to Fang Yu. Acting like a glut, consuming pills constantly could accumulate some attribute points, which would be far better than killing monsters with no experience points.

After confirming the list, Fang Yu began making his way back to Ding Hui.

He saw Ding Hui researching the five bottles of potion left by Nanyuan En.

They were of the same detoxification potion as before.

Nanyuan En claimed to have run out, yet, in reality, his subordinates outside the tent still had some in stock; he merely ran out of what he carried on him.
